This is very interesting and very novel way to teach a “difficult” language. I love to listen to people speak chinese and it could be fun to try and join in!

I was looking at some mandarin news paper to see if i recognised any pinyins, I saw hao and I knew it was good, but then i saw the second half of hao on it’s own. What does it mean?

Do you mean you saw “ao”?

With different tones and different context, “ao” have different meanings. For example:

jiāo ào = Pride

áo tāng = make a soup

ào nǎo =chagrin

This is just great! I’ve just found your tutorial on youtube and it brought me here! I was supposed to find a good tutorial for a friend of mine, but it seems like I found a new language that seemed so difficult, yet with your method it seems a lot easier!!! Thank you, from our behalf! :D

ni hao benny!
this lesson is great but i have a question. I watch chinese kung fu movies and i always hear someone saying hao ba and hao de and sometimes just hao and they are always subtitled just as “good” do they all mean the same thing?
